Top 10 Things You Didn't Know Google Maps Could Do (Lifehacker Reblog)

Are you planning a photoshoot and need some good directions? A friend tipped me off to this article from the Lifehacker Blog about Google Maps. If you like these snippets, click here to find even more great little tools :)


---------------------------------------------------

8. Create Multi-Day Walking Itineraries

Want to get around a new city without having to pull out a smartphone or big folding map at every other intersection? Google City Tours pieces together a multi-stop itinerary for you with easy walking directions, formatted for easy printing. The tool has that Google-y quality of knowing what you're looking for after typing the vaguest search, but you can also move your destination pins to any specific address. If nothing else, it's a paper-saver: one map and set of directions, as opposed to 10 print-outs. (Original post)

6. Map Out a Great Bike Route

Google Maps' biking directions do more than just estimate how long it would take a very slow car to get from one point to another. Google takes traffic into account, sure, but also hills, routes that an area or cycling group has deemed as bike-friendly, designated bike lanes, and other cycle-specific data into account. Bicycle routes that normally wouldn't be shown in seeking car directions also appear on the map, in a green color that stands out, and the tool as a whole is a cyclist's best friend in visiting a new area, or looking to vary up their excursions.

4. Show Photos Taken Nearby

Wherever you go, someone has been there before, and probably snagged a picture, too. So if you want to make sure you recognize a particular destination from the road, or want to see what the fuss is about any old place, find it in Maps, click on its pin and access Street View, then look for the Photos button to appear in the upper-right corner when you're virtually facing the place in Street View. As you "walk" around, you'll find different perspectives taken from various spots, and possibly some historical photos that have been properly geo-tagged, too, from Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, and Panoramio.

2. Provide Directions via SMS

When you're lost and out of mobile internet territory, that's when directions are probably a really helpful thing. If you can still eke out an SMS message, you can text GOOGLE with a message formatted as "Directions A to B," substituting a town, ZIP code, or street address for A and B. Google will hit you back with the same directions it would provide via Maps, and your friends will say that you've saved this road trip.

1. Map Spreadsheet Addresses Onto a Map

Spreadsheets are the best way to gather and organize information in standard form. If you've got a whole host of options to keep track of in different locations, the clever Maps/spreadsheet mashup BatchGeo will take your spreadsheet and plot it out across a Google Map. Simply paste your spreadsheet data, and BatchGeo standardizes the addresses and creates a custom My Map, filled with your locations and each one retaining the other data you plugged in about it. It's a fast way to make it look like you did a whole bunch of work, and that's never a bad thing. And while it's not technically a Google Maps feature, we think it should be. (Original post)

Smile & Move

Here's a little encouragement to seize the day, to get up and go outside and meet someone or do something. When life get's you down, fight back. When you get the "winter blues", go do something.
